Wentang

Chapter 346 Untitled
The chain reaction brought about by Luo Yi's death was very large, and the offensive and defensive situation began to reverse.

The morale of the Tang army was high and they called for battle, and many generals even began to take the initiative to provoke.On the contrary, the Turks began to shrink their lineup, and almost no small group of troops dared to leave the main force to fight the autumn wind.

In addition, Luo Yi's tens of thousands of troops have also become a confidant of the Turks.

After hearing the news of Luo Yi's death, this army closed the camp tightly and did not allow any Turkic people to approach.Xieli sent people to negotiate, but the result was not ideal.

This group did not trust the Turks at all and was unwilling to cooperate with them, and asked the Turks to let them go back to their hometown in Jingzhou.

Naturally, Xieli would not let them go. If this group of people returned to the Tang Dynasty and blocked the road in Jingzhou from the rear, the Turkic army of hundreds of thousands would be finished.

Just leave it alone?Not to mention.In case they rebel at the critical moment and attack the Turks together with the Tang army, the consequences will still be unbearable.

Kill them directly?
Not to mention, Xieli really had this idea.It's a pity that this group of people has already taken precautions. If they want to eliminate them, they must mobilize heavy troops to attack.When the time comes, the people of Tang will definitely not stand by and watch, and will definitely launch an attack.The Turks are absolutely unstoppable.

This doesn't work, that doesn't work either, Jieli is also in a dilemma right now.At the same time, I hated Luo Yi in my heart, you're not going to die sooner or later, why did you die at this time?

Wasn't it brave that you killed us Turkic people back then?Why are you so useless now.

At this moment, Li Shimin suddenly sent a letter of challenge. Although he appeared to be dismissive on the surface, he was secretly glad in his heart.

He was worrying about what to do next, Li Shimin sent the ladder to his feet.

In his opinion, this gambling battle is almost the end of this war. No matter who wins or loses, the war will end.

If the Tang people lose, the Turkic people can demand a lot of compensation.The Turks lose...the Turks will not lose.Xieli said confidently.

In order to deal with the abruptness of this gambling battle, the two sides took action and mobilized the most elite soldiers overnight.Then promise high-ranking officials and generous salaries to ensure that everyone's enthusiasm is mobilized to the greatest extent.

In the early morning of the next day, Emperor Li Shimin gave a banquet to the soldiers and sent them off in person.

"You are also an important minister, why don't you go see you off together?" Changsun Wugou asked.

"It's just a performance, what's there to give away. Besides, I'm already in the limelight, so it's better to keep a low profile." Yue Shan picked up the bowl and took a sip of millet porridge before replying.

"Low-key? I've heard this word from you hundreds of times, but it seems that every time you will show off." Changsun Wugou said.

"No way, people are too good to hide even if they want to hide." Yue Shan said happily.

"Tch!" Changsun Wugou sneered endlessly, and after laughing, he said seriously: "But there is one thing I must explain to you in advance, so that you don't complain about the sage killing the donkey."

"Um... I'm not a donkey." Yue Shan interjected.

"Shut up." Changsun Wugou almost laughed out loud, the solemn atmosphere he had created with great difficulty disappeared immediately, and he had no choice but to say: "The sage is going to merge some counties of Dezhou and Qingzhou into Dizhou, and Li Daoyan, Duke of Jiaodong, will become Dizhou. Dudu."

The governor is a military officer, and Li Shimin's intention is obvious, not to let Yue Shan touch the military power too much.

Is Yue Shan angry?
Only a fool will be angry, and he has no idea of ​​rebellion, he will only dislike the power in his hands, and will not be angry because the emperor divides his power.

He should only be angry if the emperor parachuted a governor to Dizhou.Because the governor is in charge of civil affairs, appointing the governor means depriving him of all his rights.

Besides, before, he thought that Li Shimin would take away all his rights and lock him in the capital so that he could not leave at will. Looking at the current situation, he seems to have changed his mind.

Compared to being confined to Chang'an, just sending a governor over to decentralize power is nothing at all.

Governor, send whatever you want.Only fools are willing to touch military power.

The advantage of the emperor taking away the military power is too obvious, no matter how much he tosses, he will not suspect him of rebellion.With Li Shimin's character, as long as he doesn't suspect you of rebellion, he can make troubles at will.

This also means that Yueshan can safely and boldly build Dizhou according to his own ideas.

"Jiaodong Gong is a sincere person, you need to give him more advice..." Changsun Wugou began to arrange things blah blah.

Everyone doesn't like to hear long-winded words, even if the long-winded one is a beautiful woman.But who is the queen or mother-in-law? Yue Shan can only listen.

But after listening for a while, he finally understood Li Shimin's plan - to build the northern front.

The core of the northern front lies in the great development of Youzhou.However, it is not an easy task to develop borderlands, and Datang has no experience in this field.As the proposer of the Northern Front, Yue Shan became the best candidate.

But Li Shimin absolutely does not want Yue Shan to preside over the development of Youzhou, what should we do?Take a compromise method, find a reliable person to let Yue Shan train for a period of time.

This is why Li Daoyan went to Dizhou, and why Li Shimin changed his mind and let Yueshan return to Hebei.

Yueshan wants to develop Dizhou, Li Daoyan can learn a lot by his side, and when he is finished, he will preside over the Youzhou development to build the northern front.

But no matter what Li Shimin's plans were, as a subject, Yue Shan had no room to object, and there was no need for him to object.The plan was proposed by him, and no matter who presides over it, his contribution will be indispensable.

Eating alone is not a good death, especially in the court, knowing how to share can last for a long time.

"You're going to Dizhou in a while, and the military academy can't be left alone. The sage is going to serve as the city king, what do you think?" Changsun Wugou said again.

"Rencheng King Li Daozong? It's absolutely possible." Yue Shan said happily.

Li Daozong, one of the two sages of the clan, Yue Shan has long wanted to make friends with him, but he has never found a suitable opportunity.Well now, we are all colleagues.

The eldest grandson Wugou observed carefully and found that he was really happy and not pretending, and he was also quite happy in his heart, saying: "Cuilan is really a person who understands the general situation, my sister is very happy."

"Haha...whatever my sister said, I am a brick of Datang, where I need to move." Yue Shan said:

"However, I have a suggestion. I hope that the saint will personally serve as the principal of the military academy."

"headmaster?"

"Yes, it is the head of a school, so all the students in the military academy are the emperor's disciples."

"Student of the Son of Heaven?" Changsun Wugou was very moved, he nodded and said, "This matter is so important that I can't make the decision, I still need to ask the sage for instructions."

"It should be so." Yue Shan said.

After that, the two shifted the topic to the medical school, focusing on the possible plague that might happen next.

At about the end of the hour, a loud noise sounded from the banks of the Weishui River, and the sound spread for hundreds of miles. Chang'an City, tens of miles away, could feel the obvious shaking.
